Are we set at DT?

[MHS831]

Anybody else concerned about the DT situation?  (It is slow, so I thought I would throw out a topic we have not discussed in a while)

• We have Brown--not playing pro bowl level ball, but year 3 is good to a lot of young DTs.  He is a 320 lb run stuffer.
• We have Ioannidis---or do we?  Washington fans say he is injured a lot.  Pass rusher, not a run stuffer.
• We have Nixon--and he was pretty good in very limited action last year.
• We have Roy---he sucked.
• We have Hoskins---he sucked in limited action.

I am hoping we can sign or find another run stuffer, but I would like to hear what Huddlers know about the DT situation.

I thought Hoskins looked pretty good last year. We do need another DT however.

This problem will resolve when we start eleven safeties in a never before seen in the NFL, hybrid defensive scheme.  It may not work but by gawd, it will be novel and entertaining.

Ioannidis is pretty good so I’m happy with him as a starter. Nixon has looked like he has potential so if a starter gets injured he might could step up. Brown hasn’t lived up to expectations but is young enough to turn it around. Roy Sucks but he went to baylor so Rhule is loyal to him. I would love to sign/draft a back up but I think we are set at DT. Honestly I’m more worried about DE. Burns and YGM look to be the starters. YGM is young and unproven. We also have Haynes who’s played well in limited action but has been a career backup. We need a good DE in my opinion.

I wouldn't expect any more significant moves. We might see some bottom of the roster churn but that's about all of anticipate.

I thought  Hoskins flashed a bunch. I think the growth of him n Nixon is vital... still a bunch of vets out there tho!

[MrBubba]

Likely make moves post draft

Eddie Goldman come on down or how about Star Lotulelei 

[onmyown]

Fit said he felt good about the dline (and oline) and the work there was done but honestly, i don’t think it’s going to turn out well

don’t get me wrong I like the moves but i feel we still need some playmakers…fat ass bust brown really set it back

i expect more gash rushing and stepping up from opposing qbs this year per usual

[PandaMan]

Derrick Brown had a sophomore slump.  I think he’ll bounce back next year, he impressed me a lot his rookie season with his pass rush ability (not what he was known for).  Took a big step back this year though.  Wouldn’t mind signing Star Lotulelei if it’s cheap.  He’s not as good as he once was, but he’s better than a lot of guys on the roster 

[Jackie Lee]

If Hoskins and Daviyon (pre injury) got more of Rhules boy Bravvions minutes they probably would have taken his job. With all the talk about BC's arm length he's got a T-rex DT out there just because he went to Baylor.

We could’ve really used Terrell McClain and Fua at this point
